( ) Werner’s idea was working—as always. Werner continued to work together with Olive and Atienna on something Olive called ‘predictive modeling’ and Werner ‘strategic modeling’—charting out all the possible locations Alpha could appear using Jericho’s ‘data’ from Ophiuchus to cross-reference everything.

In-Transit, Onboard Gloria’s Grail, Leonian Waters “So you’ve finally brought my target before me,” Veles boomed as soon as Maria had brought Conta and Andres onto the deck of her ship through Francis’s gates. “Yes, our target has been acquired!” Maria exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air and then bringing them down toContinue reading “24.4-1: The Pirate & Terrorist in Dorada Light”
24.2: The Swindler & Candidate in Blanca Light
( ) “Where’s Ambrose?” Cadence had difficulty tearing her eyes away from the book in her hands. The novel was some fairy tale about some silk-weaver princess being romanced by a common cowherd traveling through her countryside.

In-Transit, Xing Clan Territory, Sagittarius “Can I ask you a question, Ollie?” “You already did—” “When are you going to stop staring at me?” Olive scowled and looked out the train window. “I just can’t believe you did it again.” Claire raised his hands innocently across from Olive. “I really didn’t know you didn’t know.Continue reading “24.1: The Prince & Priest in Roja Light”
23.[]: Travellers—A Summit, Cruzando
In-Transit, Taurus The metallic rattle of the chugging train reminded Wtorek Elizabeta of the past. She never quite liked traveling by train or v-ehicle.

That small warmth aside, her kinetosisContinue reading “23.[]: Travellers—A Summit, Cruzando”

Onboard Gloria’s Grail, Leonian Waters Maria greeted the morning rays seeping through the porthole of her ship with a grin and a stretch.

TheContinue reading “23.4: Pirate—A Truel, Estellar”
22.6: The Peacekeeper & The Candidata—
Serpens Establishment, Ophiuchus “Jericho…?” Ophiuchian Peacekeeper Jericho stood stiffly in front of the woman prostrate on the couch. There was a heavy, sticky, sweet smell lingering in the air. The darkness kept in place by the drawn blinds in the room felt like it was preventing the scents from escaping. Jericho sank down beside theContinue reading “22.6: The Peacekeeper & The Candidata—”
22.2: The Swindler and The Stolen Tesoro?
Twin Cities, Gemini The dogs were at each other’s throats, snarling and yapping as saliva dripped out from in-between their jagged white teeth. The orange spotlight burning above them illuminated the carnal hunger in their eyes, while the ring of jeering men and women gathered around their fighting cage seemed to spark their aggression intoContinue reading “22.2: The Swindler and The Stolen Tesoro?”
